2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
Kane Rehoboam ochopo Jerusalem nochoko dhood Juda gi dhood Benjamin, chwo maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro kendo gidhi giked gi jo-Israel mondo gidwok loch ni Rehoboam.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
To wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:
3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto modak Juda kod Benjamin,
4 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Kik udhi utug lweny gi oweteu ma jo-Israel. Doguru e miechu ngʼato ka ngʼato, nimar ma osetimore nikech an.’” Omiyo negiwinjo wach Jehova Nyasaye mi gidok e miechgi ma ok gidhi kedo kod Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Rehoboam nodak Jerusalem kendo nogero mier masiro Juda ndalo lweny kaka:
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
Beth Zur, Soko, Adulam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gath, Maresha, Zif,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraim, Lakish, Azeka,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fortified cities.
Zora, Aijalon, kod Hebron. Magi ne mier mochiel gohinga motegno e piny Juda kod Benjamin.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of food, and of oil and wine.
Nochielogi motegno moketo jotend jolweny kuno kaachiel gi kar kano chiemo, mo zeituni kod divai.
12 And in every single city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
Noketo okumbini kod tonge e miechgi duto kendo nomiyo gibedo motegno. Kuom mano jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin ne joge.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all their land.
Jodolo kaachiel gi jo-Lawi manodak kuonde mopogore opogore mag jo-Israel noriwe lwedo.
14 For the Levites left their common lands and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office to the LORD:
Jo-Lawi nojwangʼo kuondegi mag kweth kod mwandugi kendo negibiro Juda kod Jerusalem nikech Jeroboam gi yawuote noriembogi e tich kaka jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
15 And he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the demons, and for the calves which he had made.
Noyiero jodolo mage mag kuonde motingʼore kendo mondo odolne nyiseche manono manoloso e kit diel gi nyaroya.
16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.
Jogo manoa e dhout jo-Israel mane oketo chunygi kuom dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel, noluoro jo-Lawi nyaka Jerusalem mondo gitim misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
Ne gitego loch Juda kendo kuom higni adek negimiyo Rehoboam wuod Solomon obedo motegno ka giwuotho e yor Daudi kod Solomon e kindeno.
18 And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehoboam nonywomo Mahalath mane nyar wuod Daudi miluongo ni Jerimoth kendo min mare ne en Abihail ma nyar Eliab wuod Jesse.
19 Who bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
Nonywolone yawuowi magin Jeush, Shemaria kod Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Bangʼe nokendo Maaka nyar Abisalom mane onywolone Abija, Atai, Ziza kod Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.)
Rehoboam nohero Maaka nyar Abisalom moloyo mondege mamoko kod mon mamoko. Ne en kod mon apar gaboro kaachiel gi mon mamoko piero auchiel, bende ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gaboro kod nyiri piero auchiel.
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
Rehoboam noyiero Abija wuod Maaka obed jatelo e kind owetene mondo omi obed ruoth.
23 And he dealt wisely, and distributed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired many wives.
Ne otiyo gi rieko kuom keyo yawuote moko e piny jo-Juda kod Benjamin kendo e mier madongo mochiel. Nopogogi mwandu mangʼeny kendo nokendonigi mon mangʼeny.
